Brian Sterner is a former emergency services telephone dispatch operator and has been a quadraplegic since he broke his neck at the age of 14 in a wrestling accident. He only has partial use of his arms, no feeling below the sternum and is unable to walk. Sterner was driving a small car fitted with hand pedals in October 2007 when police on patrol in Ybor City saw him waving his arms and shaking his head. He had been driving 5 mph in a 30 mph zone. Police lost sight of him, but found him later nearby. They said he made "foolish" statements. Police found no alcohol or illegal drugs but charged him with fleeing. He was arrested on a warrant on 29th January and brought to the booking room at the Hillsborough County, Florida jail. In order to search him, Deputy Charlette Marshall-Jones threw him from his wheelchair on to the floor. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera at the jail and this video footage of the incident has been widely circulated. The video shows Deputy Marshall-Jones walking behind Mr Sterner's chair to tip it forwards so he falls to the floor. Mr Sterner lands heavily and rolls onto his back and then Deputy Marshall-Jones starts searching his pockets.
